#Like she isn’t trying to publish Feel Empowered with Sexy Lipstick articles

[rotzaprachim]

minx is interesting. It’s interesting and it’s interested in things in a way that I find a lot of current media about feminism not to be. There’s an active interest into poking into some of the uncomfortable areas without simple conclusions when it comes to how feminism should relate to sex and the market/capitalism.

also really appreciate the unapologetic 70’s ness and the use of 70’s events, catchwords, buzz etc in a way that doesn’t always feel tee hee

#Like idk if it always comes to the Conclusions but is really interesting to see a show which is ABOUT feminism and what it actually is #With imperfect people #What does it /mean/ to make something feminist and what does it mean when that thing has to be sold #There’s a couple moments so far that are like well this would blow someone’s mind off #It’s interesting to chew on relative to Daisy jones lol #I’m not going to say it’s anti capitalist but it’s also not that type of subliminal capitalist fantasy show #That just ignores the demands of capitalism to write off a world for the people who’ve already won #Very much almost in Convo with something like the bold type or classic sex and the city for that #Like the whole second episode thing with the ads #the ads unapologetically sucking and being soooo sexist #And upper class country club goer white feminist Joyce /also/ being extremely confined mentally to sexist advertising #Like I hate the edible panties. U know what’s great? Shampoo and makeup #And Doug mentioning that if they /don’t/ advertise the cost of the magazine will go above most people’s ability to pay for it #Like. It’s a show Thinking about a lot of this #I think Joyce is so interesting because she’s both so much more radical and so much more flawed than a lot of the /girlboss/ characters out #There. She’s the rare example of an upper class white feminist that I think the narrative is aware of the class part at least #And she’s flawed and kind of mean and totally out of it #And also like. 5000% more radical than a lot of the the equivalents #Like she isn’t trying to publish Feel Empowered with Sexy Lipstick articles #She’s trying to publish articles about birth control marital rape and abortion access #And her issues often come from where the radicality of her vision is being compromised by praxis #Like that’s so interesting
